About Preston Grange Primary School

Preston Grange Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a rating it has held consistently since its previous inspection in 2013. The school’s most telling academic metric comes from Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits ten percentage points below the Lancashire local authority average of 60%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the area — 30th out of 45 in Preston, and 332nd out of 480 across the wider county. Nationally, it ranks in the bottom quarter of all primary schools. The picture is mixed by subject: 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, a stronger showing, while reading and writing lagged at 53% and 57% respectively. Just 10% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
